Problem
I'm a web dev who is trying to get a better handle on security. I'm trying to figure out a way (on Linux/Debian based distros) to list all computers on the same LAN my netbook is on. I tried "arp -n" but I don't feel it's a complete list, as my iPhone is on the same wi-fi router as my netbook, and that didn't come up. Is there some better way to get a full list of machines that are all sharing the same gateway?

Low Risk
Get nmap. It's the program Trinity used in The Matrix and you can do a scan to find all of the devices that are connected to the LAN you're on and more. Here's the reference guide.
